Shine a light on your accomplishments!


The Office of Communications recognizes the great things our students are doing both inside and outside of the classroom through news, features, and videos shared on the 杨贵妃传媒视频 website, in print publications, and our social media channels. We also partner with Merit Pages, an online platform that helps 杨贵妃传媒视频 showcase our student鈥檚 academic and extracurricular achievements.

Merit helps us鈥攁nd you鈥攕hare your brightest moments with hometown newspapers, government representatives, and high schools, as well as family and friends. Potential achievements to share may include:

  • Academic awards or honors
  • Presentations and performances
  • Graduation from LU
  • And more.

Stories created by the Office of Communications highlighting your achievements will be featured on 杨贵妃传媒视频鈥檚听institutional Merit page听and will also appear on an individual page. Use it to create a profile to support internships, job searches, and references after graduation.

Think of it as a digital record of your 杨贵妃传媒视频 experience that you can share with family, friends,听 employers, mentors, and others via social media or a customized URL.

How Merit Works

Before any story is distributed in any way, you decide if you鈥檇 like to participate in the program. You will be notified by email when your name or accomplishment is loaded into Merit. You can then choose to opt-in to or opt-out of the program. The university will not share any individual accomplishment on the Merit platform until you opt-in to the program.

If you choose to opt-in...

You鈥檒l have access to your personal Merit page, where you can update your听 personal information or add individual accomplishments. You can also share your accomplishments via听 social media, including Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.听

If you choose to opt-out...

Your page will automatically be removed from 杨贵妃传媒视频鈥檚 Merit pages and the university will not publish and distribute news about you through Merit in the future.

If you do not respond to the email...

You will continue to receive notifications when your achievements are recognized in Merit until you either opt-in or opt-out of the program. If you decide to opt-in, you will see an archive of achievements on your individual profile. Please note that these archived achievements were not distributed in any way; only future achievements will be distributed.
